...even taking shape. While the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty and the International Atomic Energy Organization have come a long way, North Korea's and, more recently, Iraq's flouting of the latter institution's regulatory authority suggest that much more could be done. Our active leadership in the Nuclear Test Ban Treaty is essential to this end. Increasing our budget for SDI, quite to the contrary, shows not only our lack of confidence in such measures, but also our belief that the arms race will continue, whether or not it has been "officially" curbed...

To Republicans, Clinton said: "If you do succumb to the political pressures from extremist groups to repeal any of these measures, I will veto them in a heartbeat...
...embargo, President Clinton declared the U.N. move "the last chance" for the international peacekeeping mission in Bosnia: "You can't go about the world saying you're going to do something and then not do it." If the House follows the Senate with a veto-proof lifting of the ban, Clinton fears the ensuing warfare will trigger a massive U.N. withdrawal requiring escort by 25,000 U.S. troops. TIME's Dean Fischer reports that NATO officials are moving to expand their mandate to attack Serbs if they threaten any remaining safe haven. Clinton, asked today why the Serbs should take...
